SABBATH MORNING.

The deep toned bell to worship calls
Peace Is shrusd in earth and skies:
The light In solemn splendor falls
through windows stained with goNson
dyes!
The organ tones, so rich and deep,
Rise TO the Vaulted roof above;
Then fall, as one who Silks to sleep.
Safe-cradled in the arms of love.
We listen to the esrnest prayer
For guidance through the sacred day.
A sense of rest is in the air.
LIES cares and SORROWS fall away.
The pastors earnest, thoughtful words,
The hymn of praIss-divinel. sWest
Each Ia its Wonted =. ace affords
The help that makes the days complete.
Our Fathers house! o, lei us leave
Outside its doors our worldly cares
Our sinful thoughts that round US weave
Unseen, but strong and subtle, snares.
There is no place for envy here,
Nor room for pride or vain display:
But words of heavenly hope and cheer
To guide Us on our earthly way.
Sweet Sabbath morn All earth and sky
To worship calls. We hear a voice:
Praise We the Lord who dWells on high;
Rejoice again, say, rejoice %

East st. Louis furnished u sensation
Thursday that has not been equalled since
the strike, "a special says. During the
morning the Relay depot is crowded with
people waiting for the various trains.
This morning Stetson's "Uncle Toms
Cabin" Company arrived, and Immediately
began to transfer its property to a Jersey
vile train. Among the actors with the
show are two Siberian bloodhounds
and donkey. Mr.. Robert Gray, Of
East st. Louis, was an interested spectator,
as also was bis large English mastih. The
latter watched the proceedings intently I'M
Ill the blOOdhounds were trotted out OF the
car. Both were muzzled, and the mastiff
thought he saw soft thing. With terri
BILE growl he leaped Oh one OF the blood
hounds and proceeded to eat him up. The
bloodhound fought hard, but, handicapped
as be was by the muzzle, he was rapidly
being reduced to pulp. Then one OF the
showmen slipped the muzzle of the other
bloodhound, and he sailed into the mastif.
The spectators ran away. aud the blood
hound soon had the mastiff bleeding in
dozen places. Mr.. Gray ran forward to save
his dog, and was bitten in the leg and
arm. Two OF the negro jubilee singers
then attacked Mr.. Gray, and he drew re-
yolyer and fired twice without effect.
Three OF the negroes were arrested, and
some one IN the crowd shotone OF the blood
hounds. The mastifl, or what is left Of
him, is still alive.

Fiendish IncenGIarisn,,

A Chicago (Ill.) special says: The detec-
tiyes have been thoroughly baflled in their
attempts to capture one persistent incen-
diary. A sixth attempt In the space OF five
months was made to fire the dwelling No.
1901 State street last nigh, the second and
third flats Of which are occupied by Mr.. j.
II. Rnshton, who several years ago married
the divorced wife Of a man named Roberts.
Since that time Mrs. Rushton claims that
her former husband has endeavOred TO
make her life as uncomfortable as possible,
and the police, thinking that Roberts was
in some way connected with the former at
tempts to fire the house, had his photograph
copied, and have been searching for him.
Marshal Shay, who investigated the cause
OF the fire to-day said: &" When / called on
Mrs. Rushton she told me that her little
girl had been out on the back porch early
last evening and met tall man, who wore
a silk bat and called her by name. This
description talIies with that OF her former
husband, whom the child never knew.
About midnight some one raised tue
window and dropped the fire
on a couch. The fires up to this time have
all been started in four places, a. though
meant more to scare than TO damage, but
this attempt shows that the person, who
ever be may be, is growing desperate, aud
determined to ruin the residence"

into the rear OF the frame dwelling No.
1925 Locust street, and discovered the
dead bodies OF two old misers, Joseph
Ferry, aged seventy.three years, and Ro.
bert Price, aged sixty-fye years. The men
were cousins and had occupied the prem
Uses over forty years, although neither
have performed any manual labor for over
eight years. They occupied two rooms on
the ground floor, both OF which were
scantily furnished, while the door Leading
to the second floor was locked and barred
and nailed to keep intruders from affecting
an entrance by that means. Both were
Known as misers, and refused TO associate
with any one in the neighb1rh00d.
They always kept the windows tight
" closed, and both were never known to
be absent from the house at the same
time. All sorts OF stories were a1olt
about the neiehbornood. Some OF the
ntghbors stated that they were known to
have money deposited in Philadelphia
Savings Fund and other banking iDstitu-
sions. This morning one OF the occupants
OF the adjoining premises notified an officer
that neither Perry nor Price had been seen
to leave or enter the dwelling for over
week, and the officer forced open the rear
window-shutter and entered the back
room. lie stumbled over the dead body OF
Price, which was tying on the floor, and i'm
the front room the body of Perry was
found lying on an old lounge. Both were
terribly emaciated, aud had every appear
ance OF having starved 10 death.
The coroner and physicians viewed the
remains, and expressed the opinion that
death had resulted from that cause.
Both men were very reticent in their dis
positions and led lives OF recluses. They
were suspicious OF strangers, and seemed
to be in constant fear OF being robbed.
Both, 1t is said, were of Incorporate habits,
and 1t is believed that they were under the
influence Of liquor when they laid down in
the kitchen Of their miserable and filthy
babitation and were frozen to death.
Perry was noticed by policeman on Mon.
day last IN an intoxicated condition, and
since then neither have been seen.
When an examination was made OF
Perry's effects three watches, three bank
checks aggregating $19l, one share of stock
in the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Balti-
more railroad, thlrty.siX shares Of stock In
the Masonic Hall OF Manayunk, and scye-

Inv telegrsp nh 10 the Dispatchl


INDIANAPOLIS, January There was a
large attendance OF visitors at the Capitol
to- day. although nothing particularly ex-
citing was expected. On Thursday the
Senate adopted a resolution to meet with
the House this morning TO hear the Cover
nor's message read, but when the,Senate as
sembled this action was recOnsidered, the
protests OF the Republicans being unaYail-
ing, and the message was read In the Senate
by the clerk OF that body. The refusal to
go into Joint session caused much
comment, and was accepted as meaning
that the Democrats will not consent TO q
joint session for any purpose. This sur
mise was strengthened at the afternoon
session when the Senate passed a resolu.
tion declaring there was no vacancy i'm the
Office OF Lieutenant. Governor, declining
TO 20 into joint session for the purpose OF
canyassing and declaring the result OF the
vote at the November election, and adj
journipg until Tuesday. The day appoint

for Lieulenant.GovernOr ia Monday.
In the House to-day the Republican ma
iority, in retaliation for the extraordinary
rules adopted yesterday by the Senate,
adopted a set Of regulations fully as arb.
trary as those OF the upper body. The
effect in either house will be that the ma.
iority can summsrily and quickly unseat
any member OF the minority, rightfully or
wrongfuly.
The Governors message. owing to the
refusal OF the Senate 10 participate in joint
session, was laid on the table without read
ing, and the House adjourned until Mon
day.
1t is Row understood that the Speaker Of
the House will on Monday declare aud
publish the result OF the election OF Lieu.

assemblies on Tuesday he will appear and
assert his rights as presiding officer OF that
body. His claim win be denied, and what
recourse he will take is a. vet a matter OF
conjecture. The air is full OF surmises and
rumors, and quo-acarrdntO proceedings are
suggested, and also the possibility OF two
